Every week, get a digest of Top African News and Articles from The African Exponent.

In a tweet from his twitter handle, he suggested that African beauty must be shown in what he called “its natural form”. (see picture below for the tweet)

His inclination towards pan African interests with regard to beauty led him to display his contempt towards Indian hair. I imagine this was unavoidable given that preference for one thing engenders loathe for its opposite.

The irony, however, is that he not only made this remark via an American owned social media platform but also while sheltered in an architecturally Europeanized, state of the art state house probably furnished with Chinese furniture and probably scented with Indian air fresheners.

If Quiin had the audacity to rebut, she would have asked him why he didn’t express his dissatisfaction in an “African natural way” using “African natural resources”. Ha-ha.

Anyhow, the point is we need, and have to be careful when advocating for our interests because we are more often than not going to contradict ourselves at best or look down on others at worst.
